Loot !!

(get the full effect,click it twice)

I had a exciting Saturday ! Upon waking up looking outside 7 am I noticed the neighbors were setting up a rummage sale. I don't DO rummage sales I don't need more junk. ... right LOLL.

7:10 I think there might be batting on a table over there. hmmm...
7:14 there are a lot of people wandering around over there. Maybe there is something good..
7:20 I hustle into some clothing and ooops better comb my hair ! and some shoes !
7:30 wander around 3 church tables stacked high with so many prints and hues of color fabrics, threads, quilt books, embroidery parts. Boy this lady had a lot of stuff...and I watch women with hubbys all bit dazed carrying arm loads to the 'clerk' . while I'm trying to guess the pricing on all this stuff/merchandise.
7:45 My Hubby arrives home and sees me over there... then sees the piles of fabric and quilter goodies. OhOH.....
7:50 " HoneyyyMrMano'mine.. . I need some cash.......... lots of cash...

8:03 Both our arms are full. I waltz back across the road with 45 yd of $9 batiks for $35.

~ wow !
but later.....................

The neighbors show up on my door step with Big fat moving box,

The bottom falling out of it... wheeled over on a dolly cause they could not lift it......

filled to the brim with all the leftovers of the day. MORE ! . After sorting it all out I had another 50 yd of quilt cotton fabric, 20+ yd of flannels, a heap of suitings and skirt weights and many yards of satiny silky blouse colors.

. ..of course I cant leave all the crap around the house... Up & down the hallway... Think the 'Hoarders shows' have scared me ! so off to the city to find some bins.

Then to clean closets so the bins have a place. Then I found MORE there!

Last winter I was sent boxes for backing from Kay in AZ, Shell in KS had given me a bag full early spring, Angela had brought a quantity over late spring.. I still had 3 bins of my own and past donations from Lori, Linda,Shirley, Nancy all had to be mixed up, stirred, refolded, fondled, dreamed on, and stashed away in a manner to Make Use Of Soon....

the day was productive with lots of loot and 2 closets rearranged plus I'm motivated again !!
.. next donation burst I would like a few elves...

..a few finished items looking pretty in the corner
